The Hox-TALE has been wagging for a long time

چکیده
Hox and TALE proteins interact in a sea anemone, just as they do in flies and mice, indicating that the Hox-TALE system originated very early in animal evolution.

The TALE face of Hox proteins in animal evolution
Hox genes are major regulators of embryonic development. One of their most conserved functions is to coordinate the formation of specific body structures along the anterior-posterior (AP) axis in Bilateria. This architectural role was at the basis of several morphological innovations across bilaterian evolution. In this review, we traced the origin of the Hox patterning system by considering th...
متن کاملMolecular insights into the origin of the Hox-TALE patterning system
Despite tremendous body form diversity in nature, bilaterian animals share common sets of developmental genes that display conserved expression patterns in the embryo. Among them are the Hox genes, which define different identities along the anterior-posterior axis. Hox proteins exert their function by interaction with TALE transcription factors. Hox and TALE members are also present in some bu...
متن کاملA look at life from the homeodomain
Introduction This workshop brought together developmental biologists and oncologists for three intense days of discussions about the recent progress that has been made on the roles of homeodomain proteins in development, haematopoiesis and leukaemogenesis. The homeo-domain is a 61-amino-acid DNA-binding motif with specific sequence and structural characteristics (Gehring & Hiromi, 1986). Homeod...
متن کاملAn Architectural Tale of the Two Cities
A comparative study of the corresponding styles of Western and Iranian modern architecture has hardly ever been carried out in detail. This paper aims to sketch out an outline for such an investigation and to present a summary of empirical evidence accompanied by field observations to elaborate the ongoing trend of relationship between architectural styles in Iran and that of the West. This is ...
متن کاملThe genetic analysis of spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster has led to the identification of several genes
The homeodomain is a DNA-binding motif present in a large number of eukaryotic transcription factors. To date, over 1,000 homeodomain proteins from over 100 different organisms have been described, making this family of DNA binding proteins one of the largest in biology (Banerjee-Basu et al., 1999; Banerjee-Basu et al., 2000; Gehring et al., 1994). Many homeodomain-containing factors, such as m...
